John Locke and "The Enlightenment"

John Locke was probably the most famous of the Enlightenment Thinkers. His ideas heavily influenced Thomas Jefferson when he wrote the U.S. Constitution. Read the 2nd paragraph of the U.S. Constitution - what are the "Rights" that Jefferson is talking about? Also, according to the Declaration of Independence, where does government come from? In other words, where does government get its power? Remember - these ideas come pretty much directly from John Locke, who heavily influenced modern democracy.
